SOUTHERN OSWEGO COUNTY COUNCIL OF CHURCHES

The Southern Oswego County Council of Churches Erin’s Angels Program mobilizes the community, individuals, and resources to provide food on the weekends for elementary school children in the Phoenix Central School District who might otherwise go hungry. The consequences of hunger are much more than a growling stomach. Poor nutrition can result in a weaker immune system, increased hospitalization, lower IQ, shorter attention spans, and lower academic achievement.
